WYNNE MELVILLE JONES: Llythy'r i'r Cymro 8 - 11 - 2011.

2011-11-24T06:58:00.000-08:00

Annwyl Olygydd,

Parthed yr adroddiad yn y rhifyn diwethaf o’r Cymro’ a ymddangosodd o dan y teitl ‘Dathlu bywyd tad y diwydiant ynni gwynt’.

Mae’n anffodus bod Wynne Melville Jones wedi bod mor annhosturiol a manteisio ar achlysur marwolaeth y Dr Huws i hyrwyddo’r diwydiant ‘gwallgof’ yma mae ef a nifer bychan o Gymry gwancus yn elwa’n ariannol ohoni. Dwi’n cydymdeimlo a theulu’r Dr Huws yn eu profedigaeth wrth gwrs ond allai ddim caniatáu i Wynne Melville Jones ddefnyddio’r achlysur i hyrwyddo’r ‘gwallgofrwydd’ heb ymateb, gan fod goroesiad ein cymunedau a’n cenedl yn y fantol.

Dwedodd Wynne Melville Jones yn yr adroddiad bod y Dr Huws wedi cofleidio’r dechnoleg o gynhyrchu pŵer o’r gwynt fel cyfrwng “i gyfrannu tuag at leihau allyrron garbon”, ond fel gwnes ddangos mewn erthyglau cynharach a ymddangosodd yn y Cymro yn ystod y misoedd diwethaf, tydi melinau gwynt dim yn mynd i wneud hynny o gwbl oherwydd, yn y lle cyntaf, gall neb rheoli gwynt ac os nad oes digon ohono, ar adegau, i droi’r prop siafftiau, does dim ynni yn cael ei gynhyrchu ac yna, mae’n rhaid defnyddio gorsafoedd pŵer nwy yn ategiad. Yna, os oes gormod o wynt, ar unrhyw adeg, mae’n orfodol i dro’r melinau i ffwrdd ac i ddefnyddio’r gorsafoedd pŵer eto gan nad oes modd cynhaeafu gwynt. Yna, wrth gwrs, mae angen pŵer i gynhyrchu’r tyrbinau yn y lle cyntaf, yn ogystal â thrafnidiaeth drom i’w tywys i’r amrywiaeth o safleoedd ar hyd a lled y wlad. Yna, bydd rhaid cael peiriannau sy’n defnyddio pŵer i ledaenu ffyrdd, i newid llwybrau cylchfannau ac i rwygo lonydd cul a chanol pentrefi er mwyn hwyluso taith yr angenfilod enfawr ‘ma, ac unwaith meant wedi cyrraedd eu cartrefi newydd, bydd angen creu tyllau enfawr yn y tir (a pheiriannau) a’u llenwi a thunelli o goncrid er mwyn sicrhau sylfeini ddigon cryf i ddal melinau a all fod yn 600 troedfedd o daldra! Ac yna, wrth gwrs, bydd angen rhwydwaith o beilonau a channoedd o filltiroedd o geblau i gario unrhyw bŵer a gynhyrchir i’r grid cenedlaethol. Tybed a all Wynne Melville Jones ein goleuo i gyd ar sut yn y byd mae’r gweithgaredd yna i gyd yn mynd i gyfrannu tuag at leihau allyrron carbon?

Mae Wynne Melville Jones yna’n son am weledigaeth Dr Huws am “gefn gwlad fel lle i fyw a gweithio yno” I bwy? Pwy ar wahân i’r rhai sy’n elwa’n ariannol o’r melinau gwynt sydd am fyw a gweithio yn eu cysgod, i orfod edrych arnynt o ddydd i ddydd, i ddioddef y sŵn undonog (fel trên sydd byth yn cyrraedd diwedd ei thaith) ddydd a nos, i weld un aderyn ar ôl y llall yn gelain waedlyd ar y ddaear ac i orfod pryderu byth a beunydd os yw’r holl beilonau yn mynd i achosi cynnydd mewn afiechydon fel cancr neu beidio? Na, symud ddigon pell oddi wrthynt bydd pobl am wneud ac mi fydd hynny’n lladd yr hyn sydd ar ôl ar ein cymunedau Cymreig a Chymraeg.

Ac yna, dw’n i ddim pa Gymru mae Wynne Granville Jones yn byw ynddi wrth ddatgan…”Prin iawn i’w tirluniau Cymreig sy’n dangos melinau gwynt ar y gorwel” Rwyf i - a phawb arall sydd â llygaid yn eu pennau, yn gwybod yn iawn fod y gosodiad yna’n gelwydd noeth ac os caiff ef a nifer bychan eraill o Gymry barus eu ffordd eu hunain, bydd pob un modfedd o fryniau a thir agored Cymru yn llawn o’r bwystfilod hyll, swnllyd a diwerth yma.

Ymddengys bod Wynne Melville Jones yn ystyried Fferm Wynt Mynydd Gorddu i fod yn ‘gofeb anrhydeddus’ i’r Dr Huws, byddwn, fy hunan, yn ystyried y fferm wynt yma i fod yn gofeb i’r holl fynyddoedd a choedwigoedd sydd wedi eu hacio a’u llygru’n ddidrugaredd i wneud lle i’r melinau gwynt a godwyd neu sydd yn y broses o gael eu codi ers Mynydd Corddi. Dewch i fi enwi rhai ohonynt: Llanllwni, Hiraethog, Mynyllod, Y Bettws, Mynydd y Gwair, Tyntyla, Y Portref, Alltwalis, Rhos Wen, Pumlumon, Cefn Croes, Carnedd Wen, Pen y Cymoedd, Coeti, Mynydd Iago, Brechfa, Blaen Bowi, Glyncorrwg a llawer mwy.

Y gwir amdani yw mai twyll enfawr yw diwydiant y melinau gwynt ac mae Wynne Melville Jones a’r Cymry eraill hynny sydd wedi buddsoddi ynddynt yn gwybod hynny’n iawn ond maent yn barod i weld a chymryd rhan yn ninistr miloedd o erwau o dirwedd dreftadol a ddylai oroesi ar gyfer y cenhedloedd sydd i ddod - ac i be? I lenwi cyfrifon banc y cwmnïau cyfalafol enfawr hynny, sy’n brysur yn ysglyfaethu ar Gymru, ynghyd a’u cyfrifon banc eu hunain! Petai Dr Huws wedi gwireddu ei gynllun i ddatblygu fferm wynt enfawr arall ar fynydd-dir y canolbarth, byddai ef a’r cwmni cyfalafol estronol enfawr roedd yn cydweithio â nhw wedi elwa’n sylweddol wrth gwrs ond, yn ogystal, byddent wedi dinistrio mannau cysegredig fel ‘Anialwch Gwyrdd Elynydd’ a’i phrydferthwch gwyllt. Byddai gosod fferm wynt enfawr ar Elynydd yn gyfystyr a gosod un tebyg ar safleoedd cysegredig Mach Picchu ym Mheriw, Emei Shan yn Tsieina neu, yn nes at adref, Bryniau Glastonbury.

Dylai ein cymunedau Cymreig ddim bod mewn sefyllfa lle meant yn cael eu gorfodi i ddibynnu ar ‘friwsion’ o fyrddau’r cyfalafwyr barus yma i ariannu prosiectau a gweithgareddau cymunedol; yn hytrach, dylai pob cymuned yng Nghymru allu hawlio carfan o’r nawdd ariannol sydd ar gael oddi wrth “llywodraeth Cymru” (ac sydd, ar hyn o bryd yn mynd i bocedai’r datblygwyr) i ddatblygu ynni adnewyddol yn eu cymuned. Byddent wedyn yn gallu, fel cymuned, ddewis sustem ynni adnewyddol sy’n addas ac yn ddigon effeithiol fel bod pawb yn y gymuned yn gallu cael trydan rhad. Yna, gellir defnyddio’r elw a wneir i ddatblygu prosiectau a gweithgareddau yn y gymuned.

I’r darllenwyr sydd am gael y gwirionedd am wir gost y melinau gwynt i ddefnyddwyr fel chi a fi, byddwn yn awgrymu’n gryf (os na wnaethoch ei weld yn barod) eich bod yn gwylio’r rhaglen Panorama (Tachwedd 7fed) ar BBC1iplayer, mae cynnwys y rhaglen yn agoriad llygad parthed y codiadau allwn i gyd ddisgwyl yn y blynyddoedd sydd o’n blaenau os caniateir i Lywodraeth Llundain fwrw’n mlaen a’r strategaeth ynni ‘gwallgof’ yma. Prin all pobl dalu eu biliau trydan fel y mae. Yn y blynyddoedd sydd i ddod, gallaf ragweld miloedd yn methu a thalu’r biliau o gwbl, Beth wedyn?

Mae’n rhaid i ni yma’n Nghymru uno’n un mudiad cryf i wrthsefyll ‘terfysgaeth y melinau gwynt’. Peidiwch, da chi, a gadael y frwydr yma yn nwylo mewnfudwyr yn unig. Ein gwlad dreftadol ni yw Cymru ac arnom ni mae’r ddyletswydd i’w diogelu ar gyfer y cenhedloedd o Gymry sydd i ddod. Dylai Plaid Cymru fod a digon o asgwrn cefn i gyfaddef, yn gyhoeddus, iddynt wneud andros o gamgymeriad i gefnogi strategaeth y ‘melinau gwynt’ a chydweithio â’r cyfalafwyr sydd yn eu codi’n fyddinoedd ar hyd a lled Cymru. Dylent, yn ogystal, gyhoeddi eu bod am arwain y frwydr genedlaethol yn eu herbyn rŵan a dylent fynnu fod y ‘Gronfa Cyfoeth Cymru’ (a soniwyd amdano gan Simon Thomas yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol eleni) yn cael ei sefydlu gan “Llywodraeth Cymru” yn syth bin fel y gall cymunedau Cymru hawlio arian i ddyfeisio eu sustemau ynni adnewyddol eu hunain ac, a thra ati, gweithio tuag at wneud eu cymuned yn gwbl gynaliadwy. Os nad yw’r blaid am ddangos arweiniad, yna’n sicr, meant yn haeddiannol iawn o’r enw PLAID CYWILYDD!

TRA'N COFIO AM DRYWERYN...PEIDIER ANGHOFIO AM EFYRNWY

2011-11-02T07:30:00.000-07:00

Diddorol iawn oedd gweld y rhaglen ‘Taro 9’, a ddarlledwyd ar y 3ydd o Hydref ar S4C, yn trafod bwriad Hafren Trent i werthu Stad enfawr Efyrnwy i dri chwmni cyfalafol sy’n hanu o du allan i Gymru. Trafodwyd y dadleuon yn erbyn y gwerthiant yn eithaf manwl ar wahân i un pwynt hanfodol pwysig a hynny yw, nad oedd gan Hafren Trent yr hawl i werthu’r Stad yn y lle cyntaf gan mai ‘dwyn’ y mwyafrif o’r tir arno wnaeth Llywodraeth Lloegr yn 1880 drwy basio deddf a fyddai’n caniatáu i ddinas Lerpwl adeiladu cronfa ddŵr. Cyn hynny, tir comin oedd y tir ac yn ôl cyfraith gynnar Cymru, roedd gan bob Cymro a Chymraes yr hawl i wneud defnydd ohono i hela a physgota ac i adeiladu tai unnos ac ati. Felly, roedd gan y tir berchennog yn barod sef, y genedl Gymreig ac yn fy nhyb i, mae arno Hafren Trent a Dinas Lerpwl rent am 131 o flynyddoedd am rentu’r tir yn ogystal â budd-dal sylweddol am y biliynau o alwyni o ddŵr meant wedi pibelli o’r gronfa ers 1888.

Dydd Iau diwethaf - yr 20fed o Hydref, bu i gynrychiolwyr o Lysgenhadaeth Glyndŵr fynychu Cyflwyniad a gynhaliwyd yn Neuadd Cymunedol Llanwddyn. Trefnwyd y cyflwyniad gan Hafren Trent a’r nod, yn ôl eu datganiad i’r wasg, oedd darparu gwybodaeth a lleddfu rhywfaint ar bryderon y cyhoedd parthed y gwerthiant. Roedd sawl cynrychiolydd o Hafren Trent, United Utilities, Cwmni Arwerthiant Frank Knight a’r RSPB yn bresennol yn y Cyflwyniad i ateb cwestiynau ond neb o FIM Forestry & Renewable Investment Management.

Esboniais wrth gynrychiolwyr Hafren Trent a Chwmni Adwerthiant Frank Knight pam nad oedd ganddyn nhw’r hawl I werthu’r Stad o gwbl. Gwnaethant ddim anghytuno ond, yn hytrach, awgrymu iddi fod yn fater I’r llywodraeth ym Mae Caerdydd I lunio deddf ar y mater. Pwynt teg – a gwerthfawr.

Felly, oni ddylai bod ein “llywodraeth” ym Mae Caerdydd yn defnyddio eu pwerau newydd i ddeddfu, i greu deddf a fyddai’n achub Efyrnwy rhag cael ei werthu? A thrwy ac ynghyd a hynny, yn mynnu’r tir yn ôl - ynghyd a’r gronfa ddŵr, fel y gallent weinyddu’r Stad, a gwerthiant y dŵr, er budd y genedl, yn hytrach na derbyn y gwerthiant yn hollol lywaeth a bodloni ar lywyddu dros ryw “ymchwiliad” i’r modd mae’r stad yn cael ei werthu?

Gofynnais wedyn i gynrychiolwyr Hafren Trent a Frank Knight, gan eu bod wrthi’n gwerthu’r Stad ac wedi derbyn cynnig gan Gymro lleol a oedd a phrofiad eang mewn busnes, pam na dderbyniwyd y cynnig hwnnw - yn arbennig gan fod y gymuned leol wedi datgan eu cefnogaeth i’r cynnig ? Cytunodd cynrychiolydd Cwmni Arwerthiant Frank Knight bod cynnig a chynlluniau Rhys Jones ar gyfer y Stad yn rai da iawn. Dwedodd yn ychwanegol, “nad oes dim wedi ei naddu mewn carreg eto” yn awgrymu, decini, nad yw’r penderfyniad terfynol wedi ei wneud eto - sy’n rhoi amser i Lywodraeth Bae Caerdydd ddyfeisio deddf yn erbyn y gwerthiant hwyrach ac/neu o leiaf i Bwyllgor Amgylchedd y Cynulliad ymladd cornel Rhys Jones? Datgelodd un o gynrychiolwyr eraill Hafren Trent iddo fod yn synnu nad oedd Dŵr Cymru wedi gwneud cynnig. Ia wir, pwynt da arall, pam na wnaethon nhw?

Mae heddiw yn ddyddiad cofio agoriad swyddogol Tryweryn (28 Hydref 1965) Enghraifft arall o “ddifaterwch llwyr” Llywodraeth Llundain a Dinas Lerpwl tuag at gymuned a’i thrigolion. Mae’r hyn sy’n digwydd yn Efyrnwy yn digwydd i’r gymuned yno am yr ail dro a does run plaid, cymdeithas na mudiad, hyd yma, wedi codi bys bach i rwystro’r gwerthiant gydag ymgyrch gadarn a thrwy atgoffa Hafren Trent mae Cymru yw wir berchennog Efyrnwy ac nid nhw.

Roedd hi’n bleser o’r mwyaf dros y penwythnos i wylio ychydig ar gynhadledd flynyddol yr SNP (plaid sydd yn iau na Phlaid Cymru o ychydig o flynyddoedd) a gweld y brif neuadd mor orlawn fel bod rhaid agor ystafelloedd cyfagos i wneud lle i bawb i wrando ar yr areithiau ysbrydoledig. Mae’r SNP yn tyfu o achos eu diffuantrwydd cadarn parthed annibyniaeth i’w cenedl a’u pobl. Maent yn hollol ddiffuant parthed mynnu hawliau dros eu hadnoddau cynhenid gyda'u harweinydd, Alex Salmond, yn datgan “Bod y dyddiau lle mae gwleidyddion San Steffan yn dweud wrth yr Alban beth i wneud a sut i feddwl drosodd”. Beth sy’n bod gyda’n gwleidyddion Cymreig na allent fod â’r un meddylfryd a’r un hyder i ymdrin â gwleidyddion San Steffan yn yr un modd? Faint o drychinebau a rheibio ar diriogaeth ac adnoddau ein cenedl, a faint o “ddifaterwch” sydd yn rhaid i’n cymunedau ddioddef cyn i’r gwleidyddion hynny ar ‘blaned La La’ ym Mae Caerdydd ddechrau ennill eu cyflogau o ddifrif drwy frwydro dros ein hawliau fel cenedl i reoli ein hadnoddau ein hunain. Datganodd Helen Mary Jones yn ddiweddar y bydd Plaid Cymru mewn rheolaeth ym Mae Caerdydd erbyn 2016. Dwi’n awgrymu bod Ms Jones yn agor ei llygaid i’r hyn sy’n digwydd o dan ei thrwyn hi a’i phlaid yn y Gymru sydd ohoni cyn gwneud y fath datganiadau twp. Petai Plaid Cywilydd (Plaid Cymru gynt) yn tynnu eu pennau allan o’r cymylau ac yn mynd ati o ddifrif i warchod Cymru a’ hadnoddau, ac i fynnu hawliau llawn dros yr adnoddau hynny er mwyn gwella safon byw pob unigolyn yn ein cenedl, hwyrach wedyn byddai yna siawns i’r Blaid lenwi eu neuadd cynadleddo mewn ychydig o flynyddoedd ond os na wnânt ddeffro, dwi’n hyderus i broffwydo y byddant mewn niwl o ddifancoll lwyr erbyn 2016.

P3: MEIFOD: POPULAR RESISTANCE AGAINST WINDMILLS, HUBS AND PYLONS IN POWYS AN ANCIENT GWLEDYDD CYMRU.

2011-10-03T09:22:00.000-07:00

IN POWYS THERE IS TAKINNG PLACE A DESECRATION OF OUR HERITAGE IN THE LANDSCAPE, THIS IS A MASSIVE MISCHIEF BY THE LONDON GOVERNMENT WITH COLLABORATION OF WAG AND CRACHACH CONNIVANCE WHICH IS WHY PLAID CYMRU SITS ON THE FENCE AND OFFERS UP LITTLE BUT PITHY MUTED MEANINGLESS SOUND BITES!

Given the growing resistance to 'Turbine Terrorism' throughout the land, Plaid Cymru will be remembered as "selling out" and will Loose a lot of votes in any forthcoming elections. In Terms of Heritage in the Landscape, here are a few examples as to what is at stake. A land with a long history of resistance to conquest and colonisation, as well the land of Ann Griffiths a great Welsh hymn writer.

Meifod was scene of a major Anti - Tithe Riot in June of1887, despite Riot Act being read up to 50 farmers and 34 Police were injured. Indeed much of the area was prone to popular disturbences as example, the road between Newton and Welshpool betwen 1819 - 1839 witnessed communities on either side of the road at least on a dozen occaisions when local Yoemanry and as well troops from Brecon, Abrystwyth and Shrewsbury were called out to quell 'Popular Disturbences'. Ref see article titled: 'The Bloodless Wars of Montgomeryshire': Law and Disorder, 1837 - 1847. by Edward Parry in the Montgomeryshire Collection no 97. For further information read Before Rebecca by David Jones, little wonder is it that Meifod today is in such a 'Disturbed State' and centre of Resistance to the Windmill Master Robber Barons and their 'Turbine Terrorism'. In passing why no memorial as at Llangwm, to the Meifod Tithe Riot?

WIND POWER WALES - CRACHACH CAPITALIST CYMRU OUT TO DESPOIL, DEVESTATE AND DESECRATE GWLAD GLYNDWR 'PERFEDDWLAD aka DENBIGHSHIRE' - WIND POWER WALES WILL NOT BE CONTENT UNTILL THERE ARE 100's OF WIND TURBINES STABBING INTO MYNYDD HIRAETHOG/DENBIGH MOORS.

Only Crachach and their camp following cronies, themselves out to make a fast

buck could possibly believe the fraud of using 'Welsh Patriotism' combined

with Environmental Carpet Bagging Lies of Green Imperialism to flog what

could become one of the greatest acts of ravaging and raping of the Cymric Countryside. Give Wind Power Wales an Inch and they will take miles of the Denbigh Moors upon which to plant their 'Turbines of Terror', why else should WPW be raising £850 Million plus? Not for just one or two Windmill Plantations at Llys Dymper and West Brenig?

WIND POWER WALES CORRUPTION OF WELSH CULTURE - IN WHOSE INTEREST THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION? THERE ARE OF COURSE OTHER BIG QUESTIONS AS FOR STARTERS WHY THE NEED TO RAISE £850 MILLION IN SHARES WHEN AT THE MOMENT WIND POWER WALES DOES NOT EXACTLY HAVE A FULL PORTFOLIO OF POTENTIAL WINDFARMS ON LINE. EVEN THE MUCH VAUNTED LLYS DYMPER WINDFARM IS WAITING TO BE APPROVED, MEANWHILE WPW THROWS AROUND SHAREHOLDERS MONEY ALL OVER THE LAND BUT IN PARTICULAR INTO 'BYD CRACHACH CYMRU' VIA A NUMBER OF CULTURAL BODIES INC MUDIAD YSGOL MEITHRIN AND URDD GOBAITH CYMRU, THE LIST IS GROWING BUT TO MAKE MUCH LOOK GOOD A NUMBER OF CHARITIES APPEAR TO BENEFIT TOO? HOWEVER, APART FROM SHAREHOLDERS MONEY USED SO LIBERALLY TO OIL THE WELSH LANGUAGE INDUSTRY BOSSES OF 'BYD CRACHACH CYMRU' IS ANY PUBLIC MONEY INVOLVED VIA WAG SUBSIDIES I WONDER? WHATEVER, NO DOUBT MANY POBL CYMRU CYMRAEG HAVE TAKEN A BITE OUT OF THE POISON APPLE BUT ARE THEY NOT AWARE OF SUCH AS THE 'SOUTH SEA BUBBLE' OR THE 'TULIP HYSTERIA'. WHO KNOWS WHEN THIS PRESENT WINDMILL WALES BUBBLE WILL BURST AND MANY LOOSE A LOT OF CASH THEN PANIC PERHAPS AND SELL THOSE SHARES AT A LOSS AND WHO DO YOU THINK WILL BUY THEM? WHY THE STOCKMARKET SCAVENGERS OF GLOBAL CORPORATE INTERNATIONAL CAPITALISM OF COURSE. CHEAP AT THE PRICE 'Y CYMRy' WILL HAVE PARTICIPATED IN SELLING THEIR LAND OUT AND FOR WHAT, A RUINED LANDSCAPE DESPOILED BY USELESS TURBINES OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN THE GREATEST RAPE OF THE FAIR COUNTRY SINCE CAPITALIST IRON AND COAL MASTERS PILLAGED OUR SOUTHERN VALLIES. OF COURSE THE GREAT SHAME NOW IS THAT WITH EYES WIDE OPEN 'BYD CYMRU CYMRAEG' ARE COLLABORATORS WITH WIND POWER WALES IN THE HORROR OF HUBS, PYLONS AND WINDFARMS FROM ONE END OF WHAT WILL NOW NO LONGER BE THE FAIR COUNTRY. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! NOTE THAT WPW PLANS FOR A WINDMILL PLANTATION CLOSE TO LYN BRENIG ARE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AN ENGLISH COMPANY BRENIG WIND LTD, I SUGGEST YOU GOOGLE UP THIS COMPANY AS THERE IS LOADS OF INFO ON THEM ON THE WEB TOO MUCH FOR ME TO INCLUDE IN THIS POST. SO MUCH FOR A NEW ENERGY IN WELSH CULTURE YES WITH THE 'OLD ENEMY' ENGLISH ROBBER BARONS.

Diddorol yw gweld fod gan Cwmni ‘Windpower Wales/Ynni Cymru sef, cwmni melinau gwynt Eryl ‘Del Boi’ Vaughan uned ar faes yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yn Wrecsam eleni. Yno, heb amheuaeth, i dwyllo mwy o Gymry i gefnogi tyfiant ei bortffolio codi melinau gwynt ‘da i ddim’ ac i lwgrwobrwyo mwy o gymunedau, sefydliadau ac ysgolion Cymreig a’n harian ni!

Y gwir amdani yw y byddai neb yn codi’r ffermydd gwynt aneffeithiol ‘ma oni bai fod yna gymorthdaliadau gwirion o enfawr i’w cael o bwrs y wlad fel anogaeth i gwmnïau datblygu ‘ynni adnewyddadwy’ i’w codi. Mae llywodraeth San Steffan wedi ymrwymo eu hunain (a ninnau) ar gost aruthrol, i gynhyrchu un rhan o dri o’u cyflenwad ynni o ffynonellau ‘adnewyddadwy’, o fewn y deg mlynedd nesaf ac er bod yna amrywiaeth o adnoddau ‘adnewyddadwy’ y gellid fod wedi dewis ohonynt fel modd o anelu i gyrraedd y nod, ymddengys mai melinau gwynt yw prif ddewis y cwmnïau datblygu ‘ynni adnewyddol’ am mai codi melinau gwynt yw’r ffordd hwylusaf a rhatach i gasglu’r “ROC” (Renewable Obligation Certificates) sef y nawdd sydd i’w gael yn flynyddol i bob cwmni sy’n cynhyrchu ynni. Ar hyn o bryd mae yna £400miliwn yn cael ei dalu’n flynyddol mewn ROC ym Mhrydain i’r sawl sy’n codi ac yn cynhyrchu trydan gyda melinau gwynt. Mae hyn yn golygu bod pob un felin wynt sy’n gallu cynhyrchu dros 2MW ym Mhrydain yn cael nawdd o £123,000 - cyn cymryd i ystyriaeth yr elw maent yn ei wneud o werthiant yr ynni sy’n cael ei gynhyrchu yn ogystal â budd-dal sy’n gyfystyr a 100% gwerth y cynnyrch. Felly, fe "all" bob un o’r melinau gwynt yma ennill £500,000 ac mae’r gost yma’n dod allan o’n pocedi ni, rhan ohono mewn modd cuddiedig ar ein biliau trydan, a’r gweddill drwy’r sustem dreth incwm.

Pa fusnes arall fyddai’n cael y fath nawdd am gynhyrchu a gwerthu rhywbeth sydd ddim yn gwneud yr hyn sy’n cael ei addo ar y bocs - ac mae’n gywilyddus fod yna Gymry, rhai sy’n ymwybodol iawn o aneffeithiolrwydd yr anghenfilod metal ‘ma, yn manteisio ar dlodi cymunedau a thlodi cronfeydd sefydliadau Cymreig drwy eu twyllo a’u gwobr wobrwyo i dderbyn y ffermydd gwynt ‘ma yn eu cymunedau heb bryderi dim am y canlyniadau i’r gymuned nac i Gymru. Ac mae’r modd maent yn mynd ati i wneud hyn yn hynod o sinigaidd a ‘dan-din’. H.y. Os yw un o’r cwmnïau am godi fferm wynt mewn cymuned, maent wedi dysgu, o brofiad, iddi fod yn hanfodol i drefnu cyfarfod cyhoeddus yn y gymuned a sicrhau fod yna ‘wyneb Cymreig’ neu ‘fradwr brodorol’ yno i gyflwyno sioe sleidiau neu ffilm fideo sy’n dangos ychydig o felinau gwynt yn erbyn cefndir o awyr las ar ddiwrnod braf, a ffarmwr yn son am y cymhorthdal blynyddoedd mae ef yn ei dderbyn wrth gael y melinau ar ei dir. Yna, dangosir y ‘cerdyn trympio’, lle cynigir “rhodd ariannol” (sef ein harian ni mewn gwirionedd) i brosiect neu brosiectau cymunedol os caiff y fferm wynt ei gosod yn y gymuned - a bydd gwell siawns i hynny ddigwydd os enillir cefnogaeth y gymuned wrth gwrs.

Ceir ddim son yn y cyfarfodydd cymunedol yma am yr annibendod fydd yn cael ei greu, am flynyddoedd, ar hyd priffyrdd a lonydd ein gwlad wrth i’r angenfilod enfawr ‘ma gael eu tywys i’w cartrefi newydd ar hyd a lled Cymru. Bydd rhaid lledaenu ffyrdd, newid cylchfannau a rhwygo lonydd cul a chanol pentrefi i wneud lle iddynt. Gweler y safle gwe www.cambrian <http://www.cambrian> - mountains.co.uk am wybodaeth lawn ac onest (a gaed oddi wrth un cwmni datblygu) parthed yr annibendod sy’n debygol o orfod cymryd lle er mwyn cludo’r melinau ar hyd ffyrdd Cymru.

Does dim son chwaith am y tyllau enfawr fydd angen ei wneud yn y tir, a’r tunelli o goncrid bydd rhaid tywallt i bob twll er mwyn sicrhau sylfaen digon cryf i ddal melin a all fod yn 600 troedfedd o daldra! A cheir ddim son am y sŵn undonog annioddefol sy’n bodoli ddydd a nos pan mae prop siafftiau, hyd yn oed un o’r melinau yma’n troi - heb sôn am fyddin ohonyn nhw. Ceir ddim son am y ‘golau strob’ sy’n cael ei greu wrth i haul daro ar bob un o’r prop siafftau pan maent yn troi a bod hyn, yn ogystal â’r sŵn annioddefol, yn effeithio ar iechyd pobl. A cheir ddim son fod yna arolwg wedi amcangyfrif fod yna 350,000 o ystymlod eisoes wedi eu lladd gan felinau gwynt yn ogystal â 21,000 o adar ysglyfaethus a miliynau o adar bach. Ceir ddim son am y peilonau a’r ceblau bydd rhaid eu gosod ar hyd a lled Cymru i drosglwyddo’r ynni a gynhyrchir i grid cenedlaethol Lloegr ac sut all afiechydon fel cancr gynyddu yn sgil hyn a cheir ddim son sut mae’r holl wallgofrwydd yn mynd i drawsnewid Cymru o fod yn wlad hyfryd y gellid ymfalchïo ynddi i fod yn ddiffeithwch marwaidd o felinau gwynt a fydd, mewn amser - unwaith i’r ffynonellau ariannol sychu i fynnu, yn cael eu gadael ar y tir i bydru yn eu gwlâu o goncrit.

Ond yn y cyfamser, o achos nad oes gan ein llywodraeth lipa ym Mae Caerdydd unrhyw reolaeth dros godi melinau gwynt sy’n cynhyrchu dros 50MW o ynni yng Nghymru, ac o achos bod Llywodraeth San Steffan yn benderfynnol o godi 10,000 arall o’r anghenfilod yma ym Mhrydain yn ystod y blynyddoedd nesaf - er gwaethaf y ffaith fod gwledydd eraill yn Ewrop yn rhoi gorau i’w codi, mae llu o gwmniau ‘eco-gyfalafiaeth’ enfawr fyd eang wedi gweld eu cyfle hwythau i reibio’r coffrau ac wedi troi eu sylw tuag at Gymru fel un o’r gwledydd mwyaf hawdd i’w rheibio. Felly, gweler cwmnïau fel ‘RWE/npower renewables’ sy’n gangen o gwmni Almaeneg RWE/Innology ac sydd eisoes yn berchen ar fferm wynt Taf Elai ac sydd newydd gael caniatâd (wedi apêl) i godi fferm wynt ar Mynydd y Gwair yng nghyffiniau Abertawe, ‘Scottish & Southern Energy, cwmni sydd a’u bryd ar godi fferm wynt enfawr o 105 o’r melinau mwyaf sy’n bod ar Fynydd Pumlumon a thafliad carreg o safle Hyddgen ble bu i Owain Glyndŵr ennill ei frwydr fawr cyntaf yn erbyn y gelyn yn 1401, y ‘Renewable Development Company, cwmni Albanaidd arall sydd â chyfarwyddwyr Americanaidd ac sydd eisoes wedi codi fferm wynt yng Nghefn Croes - er gwaethaf brwydr hir y trigolion yn ei herbyn am naw mlynedd, ‘Scottish Power Renewables’, sydd a’u bryd ar godi fferm wynt enfawr yng nghoedwigoedd y Dyfnant ym Mhowys. ‘Stratkraf’ y cwmni Norwyaidd enfawr sy’n brysur iawn yn rheibio cenhedloedd bychain drwy’r byd ac sydd wedi prynu cwmni ‘Catamount Cymru Cyf’ allan ac sy’n berchen bellach ar ffermydd gwynt Blaenwern ac Alltwalis ac ar orsaf ynni ‘hydro’ Rheidol wedi iddyn nhw ei hennill ar y farchnad stoc, ac yna ceir ‘United Utilities’ a ‘FIM Sustainable Timber and Energy LP, sydd, ar y cyd, newydd brynu stad enfawr Erfynwy.

Dyna flas, yn unig, o bwy yw perchnogion newydd asedau Cymru a gall y rhestr fynd yn ei flaen gan fod yna 36 0 ffermydd gwynt wedi eu gosod yn barod yng Nghymru ac o leiaf 37 arall ar y ffordd ond dewch i ni droi ein sylw tuag at berchnogion newydd stad enfawr Erfynwy.

Penderfynodd Hafren Trent i ‘werthu’ prydles 125mlynedd ar gyfer daliadau amaethyddol y stad i ‘United Utilities’ a phrydles am yr un cyfnod ar gyfer y goedwig fasnachol i FIM Sustainable Timber & Energy LP. Cwmnïau estronol o Loegr yw’r ddau. Mae’r tir sydd wedi ei ‘werthu’ yn cynnwys gwarchodfeydd natur, ffermydd a chartrefi’r pentrefwyr - sy’n siomedig iawn mai cynigion ‘allanol’ cafodd eu ffafrio yn hytrach na chynnig Rhys Jones, dyn busnes lleol oedd a’i fryd ar gadw’r stad yn nwylo Cymry a’i ddatblygu a’i rheoli mewn modd a fyddai’n creu gwaith i drigolion yr ardal. Mae trigolion yr ardal, wrth reswm, yn bryderus am ddyfodol eu bywoliaeth a’u tenantiaethau ac wedi’r cyhoeddiad i gadarnhau fod y stad wedi ei ‘werthu’ i estroniaid, galwyd cyfarfod cyhoeddus i drafod yr union bryderon ond ysywaeth, daeth ddim un cynrychiolydd o Hafren Trent, United Utlities na FIM Sustainable Timber and Energy i’r cyfarfod ac mae't trigolion yn parhau mewn tywyllwch parthed eu dyfodol. Blas o’r ymdriniaeth sarhaus a diystyriol gall y trigolion ddisgwyl mae’n amlwg!

Ond beth yn union mae’r cwmnïau estronol yma’n ei wneud a pham prynu Stad Efyrnwy? Mae ‘United Utilities yn darparu dŵr ar gyfer Ogledd Orllewin Lloegr, felly, dyma enghraifft glasurol o un cwmni dŵr estronol enfawr yn ‘gwerthu’ rhan enfawr o Gymru i gwmni dŵr estronol arall. Ydi Cymru a’r Cymry yn mynd i elwa o’r ‘gwerthiant’ mewn unrhyw ffordd? Na yw’r ateb wrth gwrs; byddem yn parhau i dalu'r treth mwyaf ym Mhrydain am ein dŵr ni'n hunain yn union fel ag y rydym wastad wedi gwneud. Yna, mae’r prynwr arall sef, ‘FIN Sustainable Timber & Energy LP yn brolio fod ganddyn nhw bortffolio fyd eang o goedwigoedd a Ffermydd gwynt. Felly, does dim rhaid bod yn broffwyd i broffwydo beth yw eu cynlluniau nhw ar gyfer y stad!

Ydi, mae’n anghredadwy fod ein gwleidyddion etholedig, y bobl hynny sydd wedi cael eu hethol i warchod Cymru a’i chymunedau yn caniatáu i’r uchod ddigwydd heb wneud unrhyw fath o safiad. Mae’r cyfan yn fater o goncwest y llyfr siec wedi mynd allan o bob rheolaeth ac os na wnaiff ein gwleidyddion a mudiadau Cymreig ymgyrchu’n gadarn i ddiweddu’r ‘gwerthiant’ mawr fyd eang sy’n cymryd lle ar Gymru yn ddi-oed, bydd yna ddim cenedl a ddim cymunedau Cymreig a Chymraeg ar ôl. Byddem yn ddim byd ond rhyw ‘ased’ bychan ddibwys fydd yn cael ei werthu yn ôl ac ymlaen mewn portffolios ar y farchnad stoc fyd eang. Fydd yna ddim angen llywodraeth ym Mae Caerdydd, ddim pwynt i Blaid Cymru, Llais Gwynedd, Y Blaid Gomiwnyddol Gymreig na mudiadau fel Cymdeithas yr Iaith, Cymuned a.y.b., i fodoli.

Mae’r busnes o gynhyrchu ‘ynni adnewyddadwy’ yn fusnes enfawr ac mae’r elfen melinau gwynt o’r busnes yn effeithio ar dirwedd a chymunedau ledled y byd yn ogystal â Chymru ond rhag ofn i neb gamddeall, dwi o blaid cynhyrchu ‘ynni adnewyddadwy’ cyn belled a bod hynny’n cael ei wneud ar raddfa gymunedol a thrwy wneud defnydd o adnoddau naturiol y gymuned yn hytrach na thrwy brosiectau ‘twp’ fel ffermydd gwynt sydd ond yn mynd i fod o elw i gyfalafwyr sy’n poeni dim bod eu gweithredoedd yn dinistrio cymunedau a thirwedd hanesyddol ac amgylcheddol y byd.

Polisïau'r Undeb Ewropeaidd sy’n bennaf gyfrifol am y cyrch neo-wladychol newydd yma ar ein cenedl ni. Yr un polisïau Ewropeaidd hynny sy’n gorchymyn bod rhaid adeiladu stadau enfawr o dai ddiangen ar hyd yr A55 yn y Gogledd ar gyfer y ‘symudiad llwythol’ mae Senedd Ewrop yn ‘mynnu’ sydd i gymryd lle o fewn eu hymherodraeth. Ia, un o’r polisïau Ewropeaidd yma oedd yn ‘gorchymyn’ bod yn rhaid i bob gwlad o fewn yr Undeb gynhyrchu ynni adnewyddadwy, ond y gwleidyddion ym Mae Caerdydd oedd yn gyfrifol am ruthro i dderbyn a gweithredu’r polisi heb gwestiynu nac ystyried y canlyniadau hir dymor ar Gymru - ac iddyn nhw mae’r diolch am hwyluso’r ffordd i gwmnïau cyfalafol fyd eang droi eu sylw ar Gymru fel darn o dir i’w ecsploetio a’i goloneiddio â miloedd o felinau gwynt ac mae hyn yn dod a ni at y sgandal fwyaf oll.

Ymddengys bod 40% o goedwigoedd Cymru dan ofal uniongyrchol y Cynulliad Cymreig ac yn eu heiddgarwch i ruthro’n mlaen a pholisi Senedd Ewrop a San Steffan i lenwi Cymru a ffermydd gwynt, aethant ati i ddewis ardaloedd o Gymru a oedd, yn eu tyb nhw, yn addas ar gyfer Ffermydd Gwynt, heb unrhyw ystyriaeth i dirwedd hanesyddol ac amgylcheddol y safleoedd yma i gychwyn - ond yn ogystal, mae 'na goedwigoedd niferus yn yr ardaloedd yma a ddewiswyd ar gyfer y strategaeth TAN8 bondigrybwyll - fel ag y sydd ym mhob rhan o Gymru, ac mae’r cynulliad yn caniatau i ddatblygwyr melinau gwynt glirio cannoedd o filiynau o’r coed er mwyn gwneud lle i’r melinau gwynt!

Ar wahân i’r ffaith fod ein coedwigoedd yn asedau economaidd gwerthfawr a phwysig, bydd clirio’r coed ohonynt yn newid tirwedd Cymru’n llwyr. Yn ogystal, maent yn hardd yn eu gwylltineb ac yn gynefin i bob math o greaduriaid ac adar, rhai ohonynt yn brin - fel y wiwer goch. Maent yn atyniad i dwristiaid ac i gerddwyr ac yn frith o lwybrau cerdded a merlota sy’n bod ers canrifoedd. Maent yn rhan annatod o’n cenedl ni yn yr un modd ag y mae trwyn yn rhan annatod ar wyneb, ac mae ein gwleidyddion ym Mae Caerdydd yn eu haberthu ar allor gwallgofrwydd!

Petai hyn yn digwydd yng nghoedwigoedd glaw'r Amazon, byddai pawb a’i gi yn cael eu cythruddo ac yn codi pac i fynd allan yno i achub y goedwig, ond lle mae Cymru yn y cwestiwn, caniateir rhydd hunt i unrhyw un ddod yma i reibio a dinistrio.

Mae ‘Plaid’, wrth gwrs, o blaid codi melinau gwynt, gyda sawl aelod amlwg yn gwneud arian da iawn ar gefnau'r gweddill ohonom, ond mae’n hen bryd i ofyn y cwestiwn mawr, pam nad yw ein Plaid Genedlaethol wedi bod ar flaen y gad yn gwarchod buddiannau, adnoddau a thirwedd dreftadol ac amgylcheddol Cymru? Mae ‘Plaid’ wedi gollwng y ‘Cymru’ o’u henw ers tro felly, ‘Plaid’ i bwy ac i beth ydi hi erbyn hyn? Dwi am gynnig eu bod yn newid yr enw eto, i ‘PLAID CYWILYDD’ o achos mae’n gywilyddus o beth iddyn nhw wedi bod yn llwybro’r ‘siop siafins’ ‘na ym Mae Caerdydd am dros ddeuddeg mlynedd ac wedi bod yn rheoli mewn clymblaid yno am y pum mlynedd diwethaf heb wneud dim i rwystro San Steffan rhag llenwi Cymru â ‘melltith’ y melinau gwynt. yn hytrach, maent wedi eu cofleidio yn yr un modd maent wedi cyd-fynd a’r cynllun i adeiladu’r holl dai diangen (nad oes modd gan Cymry i'w prynu) ar hyd ffordd yr A55. Maent yn fud parthed y ffaith bod ein coedwigoedd yn cael eu clirio a’r melinau gwynt yn cael eu trywanu i ddaear cysegredig ein gwlad yn eu lle, a gwnaed dim i rwystro stad Efyrnwy rhag cael ei ‘werthu’ i estroniaid cyfalafol.

Os nad yw ‘PLAID CYWILYDD’ yn barod i ymladd "o ddifrif" dros sicrhau bod Cymru yn cael llwyr reolaeth ar ei holl asedau cyn i’r cyfan ddiweddu yn nwylo ysglyfaethus, yna, does dim pwynt iddi fodoli.

Mae tri mis o ymgynghori statudol yn cymryd lle rŵan cyn i’r trefniadau ar gyfer gwerthiant stad Efyrnwy gael eu cwblhau yn yr Hydref. Beth am i ‘BLAID CYWILYDD’ ddangos i’r genedl eu bod o ddifrif ynglŷn â gwarchod buddiannau ac adnoddau Cymru drwy, fel man cychwyn, drefnu rali genedlaethol, , yn Llanwddyn, i ddangos, yn y lle cyntaf, eu cefnogaeth i’r gymuned yno ac, yn ail, i ddangos i weddill o Gymru eu bod o ddifrif ynglŷn â gwarchod adnoddau Cymru a’u bod am arwain ymgyrch genedlaethol i rwystro’r ‘gwerthiant’ yma i estroniaid rhag mynd trwodd.

Wedi’r cwbl, Tir comin oedd y mwyafrif o stad Efyrnwy cyn i Lywodraeth Lloegr basio deddf yn 1880 a roddodd yr hawl i Gyngor Lerpwl adeiladu’r gronfa ddŵr enfawr yno. Ac er gwaethaf gwrthwynebiad cryf y gymuned, dymchwelwyd eu cartrefi a chwalwyd y gymuned - fel ag sydd wedi digwydd droeon yng Nghymru ers hynny. Daeth y gronfa ddŵr, a’r stad, i ddwylo Hafren Trent yn 1974, ac maent yn ddigon haerllug i feddwl bod ganddyn nhw’r hawl i’w gwerthu!

Mae’n rhaid trosglwyddo'r neges yn uchel ac yn glir i Hafren Trent, United Utilities a ‘FIM Sustainable Timber & Energy LP’ mae Cymru sy’n berchen ar Stad Efyrnwy ac er gwaethaf y ffaith fod Lerpwl a Hafren Trent wedi bod yn dwyn y dŵr ers 1889, mae’r Cymry a’u bryd ar gymryd y stad a'r gronfa ddŵr yn ôl a does ganddym ddim unrhyw fwriad i dalu iddyn nhw nac i unrhyw goloneiddiwr cyfalafol arall am ein heiddo ein hunain!. Os caiff y cwmniau uchod eu crafangau arni, byddant fawr ddim o amser yn clirio coedwigoedd i wneud lle i ffermydd gwynt - a gall ‘PLAID CYWILYDD’ ddim gadael i hynny ddigwydd eto o bosib?

Mae’n hen bryd iddyn nhw arwain y gweddill o Gymru mewn gwrthsafiad i’r fath rheibio sy’n cymryd lle yng Nghymru a cheisio, o leiaf, a gwarchod yr ychydig sydd ar ôl - yn union fel ag y mae llwyth dewr Indiad y Mapuche yn ei wneud ers blynyddoedd ym Mhatagonia wrth iddyn nhw ymladd brwydrau ffyrnig yn erbyn y cwmni adnewyddadwy mawr ysglyfaethus STRATKRAF ia, yr union gwmni sydd yn ysglyfaethu yng Nghymru erbyn hyn!

Cawn weld os wnaiff ‘PLAID CYWILYDD’ ddod oddi ar y ffens am unwaith ac ymladd o ddifrif i amddiffyn Stad Efyrnwy ac i gael ein hasedau yn ôl ond peidiwch, da chi, a dal eich gwynt mewn gobaith bod hyn yn debygol o ddigwydd, os yw Efyrnwy i’w hachub, mae’n rhaid i bob mudiad a chymdeithas Gymreig weithredu ar bob ffrynt i rhwystro’r ‘gwerthiant’. Mae’n Haf, felly beth am i fudiadau Cymreig fynd ati i sefydlu ‘GWERSYLL AMDDIFFYN’ ar y stad a chynhyrchu digonedd o blacardiau a baneri gyda sloganau addas, fel modd o daro’r neges adref. Gellir yn ogystal gwneud defnydd da o'r amser a dreilir yno drwy cydweithio i adeiladu pentref o ‘dai unnos’ ar y stad a gellir cynnal Gŵyl Roc a Gwerin ‘CYMRYD Y TIR YN ÔL’ fel modd i godi arian ar gyfer yr ymgyrch yma yn ogystal â’r ymgyrchoedd sydd i ddod; o achos mae angen hel y cyfalafwyr melinau gwynt ‘ma allan o Gymru unwaith ac am byth a chychwyn mentrau ynni adnewyddadwy addas yn ein cymunedau, rhai sydd yn nwylo ein cymunedau ac er budd pob unigolyn o fewn i bob cymuned.

Bydd angen ymgyrchu’n gyson yn ystod y blynyddoedd nesaf i rwystro’r melinau rhag cyrraedd y safleoedd sydd wedi derbyn caniatâd cynllunio ar eu cyfer, a bydd angen gwarchod ein coedwigoedd rhag unrhyw fygythiadau pellach iddyn nhw.

Pa fudiadau a chymdeithasau Cymreig sydd a'r un gwytnwch â llwyth y Mapuchi i arwain y gad os gwn i? Os na wneir safiad nawr yn erbyn y barwniaid ‘adnewyddadwy’ ysglyfaethus newydd yma, yna, bydd yn rhaid i chwi, rhyw ddydd, edrych i fyw llygaid eich plant a phlant eich plant, a gwybod, i chi aros yn fyd ac yn ddiymadferth a gwneud dim i achub eu treftadaeth. Y dreftadaeth hynny yw Cymru, hwyrach na wnawn ei gwerthfawrogi nes bydd hi wedi darfod a bod.

THREE LETTERS TO WESTERN MAIL ON THE WINDMILLING OF WALES ISSUES AND RESPONSES TO THEM.

2011-07-26T06:12:00.000-07:00

Three of my letters have, recently, been published in the Western Mail and two of them must have 'really annoyed' pro wind turbine lovers as they responded with a lot of 'hot air' which, of course, provided me with a wonderfiul opportunity to respond and to reveal some further facts as to why we must fight against the 'windmilling of Cymru'.

See sequence of letters below. beginning with letter no 1 from me then a response. Then, a response to the response from me. followed by another letter of 'attack' and a final letter of response to that attack from me.

Sir - Congratulations to the people of Trefaldwyn for their deserved victory in getting Powys County Council to finally realize the folly of the windmills of mass destruction of our countryside. Let us now hope that the rest of Cymru also sees sense and follows the guidance of Powys and that our ‘so called’ government in Bae Caerdydd acts as a ‘true’ government should and refuses to participate in Westminster’s latest strategy of colonial exploitation in Cymru.

The ball now is firmly back in the court of the Welsh Assembly Government and it is they, along with the Welsh MEP’s, MP’s and Welsh Lords, that should be opening up the “2^nd front” in London whilst Anti Wind Farms groups in Cymru must unite in order to continue with the campaign to rid our nation of this scourge once and for all. Towards achieving this end, we must awaken our people to the horrifying truth in regards to what effect the TAN 8 strategy will have on our countryside; we must awaken our people to fully realise what is being done to our motherland in the name of green imperialism and eco colonialism.

Siân Ifan

CEO Embassy Glyndŵr

SIR – There is so much wrong with the sentiments expressed in the letter from Sian Ifan of Embassy Glyndŵr (July 5) that I scarcely know where to start.

Firstly, the outright opposition to wind farms. I can only say to Sian, wake up and open your eyes. Fossil fuels are running out – a report in The Ecologist (June 28) indicates that peak oil is coming even sooner than was thought.

Like so many wind farm opponents, Sian utterly fails to consider that the current provision of our energy is unsustainable or to recognise that alternatives need to be found and soon. I do not say that wind farms are the only solution, but we need renewable sources to provide a much greater proportion of our energy in the very near future.

Secondly, Sian wants to protect natural beauty and I’m in full agreement there. But if Sian wants to see “mass destruction” then look at the tarnished earth website (tarnishedearth.co.uk).

The pictures are also on show in St Mary Street in Cardiff and they show the utter desolation being created in Alberta as oil companies lay waste to our planet in a desperate attempt to scrape the bottom of the oil barrel. Compared to that, wind farms and pylons are a small price to pay.

If Sian is happy for other parts of the world to be devastated just to maintain the status quo a little longer, this is nimbyism of the highest order.

Lastly, the attempt by Sian to use anti-English sentiment to play a political game over energy supply is utterly cynical and revolting. We need energy from renewable sources; to reject any way forward that will take Wales to an even worse economic situation than it is in now.

MARTIN RENDLE

SIR – I am very aware we need to find suitable renewable energy for Cymru (“A small price to pay”, Letters, July 12) but churning up every acre of our nation so gigantic and next-to-useless wind turbines can be stabbed into the earth of our motherland is definitely not the answer as has been proved in other European countries that took the lead with onshore wind.

Let us take Denmark as one example, a country that has 6,000 turbines for a population of five million people. They have ceased to support new on-shore wind developments because they have learnt the hard way that wind is unreliable.

Too much wind means that the turbines have to be switched off as wind cannot be stored; then no wind means that they’re totally useless but, subsidies are still paid to wind farm developers and in Denmark’s case, businesses and consumers, since 2005, have paid more than £620m in subsidies through their electricity bills which are the highest in Europe.

Why should our nation, again, have to pay the price with capitalist exploitation of its communities and expropriation of its resources.

We have, continuously, for centuries, had to suffer the “rape of our fair country” by the likes of Anglo-Norman lords such as the Beaufort land-grabbing family and the copper, Iron, coal and slate masters.

We already have more than 400 turbines in Cymru with planning applications for many more being placed before Cymric councils by large wind farm developers through their Welsh collaborators. I, for one, am not prepared to stand by and watch an “absurd” and worthless strategy turn our beautiful nation into a wasteland of cemeteries for these expensive and useless turbines and their pylon infrastructures just so a few capitalist parasites can become billionaires on the backs of the “Gwerin”.

The Gwerin will, again, be footing the cost of it all for years to come through continual rises in their electricity bills – while the Duke of Beaufort will get £7m a year in subsidies for having 19 turbines on the 4,000 acres of Land that his Anglo Norman ancestors gained around Swansea.

And no, I am not “happy for other parts of the world to be devastated” either Mr Rendle. And they needn’t be – any more than Cymru need be. There are better choices of renewable energy available and as Joel Rawson from the Centre for Alternative Technology has argued, these other and better choices need to be explored in more detail – and I would add, adopted as “wiser” strategies that would benefit indigenous peoples everywhere.

I always find it puzzling when Western liberal environmentalists living in Cymru can empathise and sympathise so much with communities in danger of being destroyed in other parts of the world but cannot see the same dangers in regards to the nation they’ve chosen to live in.

I don’t think it’s me who needs to wake up and open my eyes, Mr Rendle.

SIÂN IFAN

CEO Embassy Glyndwr

Windynimbyism

SIR – Has Sian Ifan ever had a Lee Enfield pushed into her face or starved on a rubber plantation (Letters, July 16)?

Probably not – but then those who oppose wind farms seem to have no problem using words like colonialism, imperialism , rape and holocaust with no idea or experience of the reality of these things.

The planet is heating up because of the CO² we are putting into the atmosphere and the oil is running out. If Ms Ifan can’t see that then I suggest she enter a process called “growing up”.

If she is so concerned about the landscape and wildlife why just wind farms, why not opencast mines and factory farms?

Those who oppose wind farms want to use energy but can’t face the consequences of doing so.

She can of course give us all an alternative that she is prepared to stick by and champion when it comes to opposition but one thing is intrinsic to windynimbyism: despite many requests no alternative is ever forthcoming.

Let’s make Wales a sustainable society by building the turbines and other renewable technology here where we can address the issues of poverty and climate change at the same time.

Green collar economy or rural la la land (propped up by EU subsidy) – easy choice to make methinks.....

NIGEL BAKER
Cardiff

My Reply to the above when published in the Western Mail of Saturday 23 July had been shortened to suit but I would like you all to see the full version that was sent for publishing, as follows.

Sir - Re letter by Nigel Baker (19 July 2011) entitled 'Windynimybism'.

No, Mr Baker, I do not know what it's like to have had a Lee Enfield stuck in my face or to be starved on a rubber plantation? But I can honestly state that my whole life has been an experience of colonialism, imperialism and rape of my nation, can you state likewise?

I am the daughter of a quarry worker and the granddaughter of a coal miner. Many of my friends are also from slate or coal mining backgrounds and our families have suffered over three centuries of English ‘slate masters’ as well as native Anglo-Cambro coal capitalists. Both my grandfather and my father died in their early fifties, one of silicosis, the other of emphysema. They worked hard in dangerous conditions for poverty wages and there was no ‘compensation’ for their families when they died; so I think I have more experience of the “reality of these things” than a 'Green fascist' blowing enough hot air that can only add to Global Warming not help decrease it?

If you seriously care about the effects of the CO² that is being put into the atmosphere, then you should consider the enormous C02 emissions that is being generated as a result of the constructing of these turbines through the mining and the smelting of the metals used for their construction, through the carbon-intensive cement needed for their huge concrete foundations, and through the building and widening of roads needed to take them on site - not to mention the releasing of immense quantities of CO2 from the peat bogs where many Wind farms are built. Yet, the English government intends to spend £100billion on the construction of 10,000 or more of these turbines in the next few years plus another £40billion on connecting them all to the national grid to ensure that we hit the 15% renewable target by 2020.

60% of Cymru is within the TAN 8 area and we know that there are planning applications for the construction of Wind farms put forward in areas than are not within the TAN 8 designated area so one can immediately envisage what Cymru will look like in a few years time if this ‘lunacy’ is allowed to continue.

Every community in Cymru has got more than enough in natural resources to provide the needed ‘green’ energy for its community, and If you would like to contact me Mr Baker, I can show you proof of how an individual in my home town of Blaenau Ffestiniog has been doing just that for the last thirty five years but no, our ‘London masters’ have dictated that our nation must be ripped apart, again, and every acre filled by gigantic turbines and their pylon infrastructures to provide electricity for the U.K.’s hungry national grid, and as has been the case with our water, they’ll take it and make the Welsh Gwerin pay for the development of it through hidden costs in their electricity bills just as we’ve had to pay the highest water rates in the U.K. for decades for our own water!

And if you seriously care about the effects of war Mr Baker, please wake up to the realisation that global corporate international capitalism really does needs a plentiful supply of ‘cheap’ energy to power its armaments industry. Yes Mr Baker, I’m referring to that armament industry that is currently supplying the bombs that is being dropped on three Islamic nations and that will continue to supply arms and planes to tyrants all over the Third World to enable them to further wars so they may continue to exploit native peoples of their natural resources.

Your response to my letter Mr Baker is just the sort of hysteria we expect to witness from such arrogant 'green fascism' as increasingly, the fallacy in regards to the effectiveness of wind farms is challenged and exposed world wide. Westminster is well aware of this fallacy which is why they are currently considering the advice of Centrica and other energy companies that 17 gas -fired power stations, at a cost of a further £10billion to the tax payer, will be needed by 2020 to provide electricity to back up wind power when the turbines don’t produce or when they over produce and have to be turned off!.

I am not a ‘nimby’ Mr Baker; I do not regard Cymru as my back yard but rather as a beautiful garden that I must assist to protect from the swine that will devour it so that it will survive as a legacy to hand down to future generations. And, for the record, I do oppose ‘open Cast mining’ and have supported Native Americans in their campaigns against ‘strip mining’. I support the campaign against badger culls and most certainly oppose factory farming and all forms of cruelty to animals and peoples where ever they occur.

Further comments and facts and figures galore for and against windmill farms might go on unabated but as far as Embassy Glyndŵr is concerned, this is a Welsh 'National Issue' and we look at and react from an anti - colonial position which rests on the platform and programe of that we seek to deny any oppression of our peoples, exploitation of our communities or any expropriation of our land and its natural resources either by England or by International Global Coorperate Capitalism, be it by Green Imperialism and Eco Colonialism or whatever other form the new Cheque Book Conquest may take.

In the case of Windmill Farms, we further oppose their despoilation and devestation of our countryside and the desecration of our heritage in the landscape. This is not a matter of 'NIMBYISM'; as far as we are concerned, all of Cymru is our beautiful and, in places, wild and dramatic 'precious garden', a garden sculptured by its rich history, to be protected and well cared for as a legacy to hand on to future generations.
